The street railway has entered upon
its second year and the prospects for
the future are very bright. During the
year just closed 5000 passengers have
been carried by the company. Taking
the fare at cents, the receiptsam-
cunt to $3.50. Estimating the ex-
penses at SIS per day, the total expenses
for the year will amount TO about S., 475.
This shows that the expenses have been
nearly paid by the receipts, which is
much more than the stockholders antic-
ipated. 1t seems every way probable
that the company will do much better
the coming year than during the past
year.
The case of H. NJ. Burgess vs.. Fred
rick f. Bulls, an action before Judge
Severance, brought to deprive the father
of the custody of his three children, was
yesterday decided in favor of defendant,
granting him the right of his children.
Messrs. Brown and Shissler appeared
for the plaintiff, and Collester &
Foster for defendant. This case
involves Eagle Lake parties, and
is of considerable interest. The
plaintiffs are young children of the de-
PENDANT, and brought action through a
guardian to be taken away from their
father and step-mother, and given in
care of a guardian, the action being
brought on account of alleged inhuman
treatment. The Judge found that the
stepmother had subjected the children
to insolent and Illuminating treatment,
but that the father was unaware of it.
The father will probably find places away
from home for his children to live here
after. The trial occurred July 18th.

saws "the court house difficulty was am
icably settled" How many times has
the court house middle been "amicably |
settled?" A thing conceived in iniquity
and born in rebellion as this court house
was, will meet with numerous set backs,
and may, when completed, tumble down
upon the heads of those who 80 grossly
violated every principle of the will of
the majority.
We desire to say to our Union friend
that the county commissioners are doing
their utmost to protect the interests of
the county against imposition, and are
accomplishing this very thing. Ofcourse
Bro. Neff has got 1t in for Mankato, and
he will keep up his insolent remarks to
the end. But this matters not. The
commissioners will see to it that the
building is constructed according to con-
tract, and if conceived in iniquity and
born in rebellion" the building will
stand for century as monument of
credit to the men who had the back
bone to provide safe repository for
county records. The Union would show
a much more commendable spirit if it
would gracefully acquiesce in the de-
mands of the age, instead of standing on
Its hind legs and braying.
e. F. Piper and j. L. Washburn,
of this city, went to st. Paul's Lutheran
church, where the synod for the Nor
wegian Evangelical Lutheran church |
was in session yesterday. They found
that the Theological Seminary would
probably be located between st. Paul
and Minneapolis, but that Teachers
Seminary and also an Orphan AsYIum
were practically at the disposal of the
synod, and that if either of these insti-
tutions were located here an up town To-
cation was preferred, as nearer the
Scandinavian churches. These gentle
men lodged with the synod a communi-
cation setting forth the advantages of
Mankato as a location for either of these
institutions, and especially the teachers
seminary, and invited correspondence,
either through the committee appointed
by the Board of Trade or the pastor of
the Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran
